I've seen alot of threads recently saying the peerfly is shaving. Peerfly itself is a legit network.
You see, when you send shitty leads to an advertiser, especially email submits, they're going to scrub, and probably start shaving your ass too.
For example, back in the day (aka 3 months ago) I would send 100 ewhore leads to a free dating sign up and get something like 24$ in sign ups. I would get all excited and send more, but by then my EPC was gradually declining. I noticed guys emailing me saying they signed up, but I wasn;t even credited. Send shit traffic and you'll get shit conversions back. I was like wtf?
But its all good I only do whitehat with CPA networks, greyhat for traffic.
Recently, peerfly has gotten very popular here, especially with people using some "spam" methods (nothing wrong with dat, everyone wanna be a hardcore russian dude making 100k a day). But advertisers either group everything either by affiliate or network. I can't say which method is more common, but for simplicities sake Im willing to bet its the latter.
So for example, say advertiser has an email submit going through peerfly. They pay $1.50 and then only 1 in 150 convert on the backend, they'd then lower how much they pay per submit to pull a profit. So for example they might say they pay 1.50 a submit, but in reality they'll only end up paying 1.30 per submit. This also brings me to my second point, pushing traffic to a higher paying submit does not always equal more profitability. SPLIT TEST. While some other network could have the same submit and the advertiser is actually paying 1.50 per submit because of quality traffic.
I feel peerfly made themselves vulnerable due to their "seemless" verification method which does NOT require a phone call. And also their lenient stance to spam compared to other real networks.
I hope this helps, for anyone who is confused as to why it might seem like peerfly is shaving.
Also please don't think Im kissing ass to peerfly, because I don't even have a peerfly account. I feel theres better networks to run my traffic to (no offense). Although their custom tracking is about as badass as it gets.
All in all, somethings gotta give and by the looks of it, peerfly is about to open a can of whoopass on spammers.
tl;dr
Sent shit traffic to email submits, to any network. And the advertiser is going to wax your balls.
